6.3 Usage and maintenance of battery
The correct using and daily maintenance is very important for the performance and
useful life of lead-acid battery. Operators must maintain and service the battery according
to the manual and realities, fill in the record card of charging. The card can be copied as
the daily inspection record, referred to the attached list at the back of the manual.
6.3.1 Information about battery operation
(1) Before using the new battery, clean the surface and check for the damage. Smear
butter or Vaseline on the connectors to retard corrosion.
(2) The battery is assembled on the truck for balance weight, if it’s lower than the Min.
weight, the load capacity will be affected. When assembling the battery on the truck,
fasten it with pin. The pin must be assembled after lifting and replacing the battery. The
stability of the truck will be affected with no fixed pin.
(3) The first charge before using new battery is initial charge, after that, the current of
common charging must keep the specified value, and input capacity is 130%-150% of
output capacity, the battery must charge for about 12 hours.
(4) When operating the battery, avoid over-discharging (mean the voltage of single
battery is lower than 1.80V) and over-charging, for it will effect the usual life and
performance of battery.
(5) When charging, open the cap for pouring liquid. After finishing charging, close the
cap. Keep the vent clear, for prevent exploding and damage of battery.
(6) After using the battery, charge it in time. If not charging in time, undercharge
usually, standing idle without charging for long time or over discharging, the pole plates of
the battery will be sulfatization, which effect a decline in performance of the battery or
cause failure if seriously.
(7) There is ox hydrogen separated out when charging, it’s necessary to keep good
ventilation condition and avoid burning to keep off the explosion.
(8) During using and charging, the level of the electrolyte will decrease and the
density will increase. Usually add distilled water to keep normal capacity and density of
electrolyte.
Notice: Electrolyte can’t be added directly.
(9) Keep the surface of the battery clean, maintain and service the pole terminals,
bolts and connectors, loose connections or poor contact must be removed in time.
(10) During using the battery, if the voltage of the single battery is uneven or the
